Fact or fiction?

is it true that people of different ethnicities have different attributes or traits? lol
eg. African people can stand the heat while white Russians cant?
same thing with African people cant stand the cold while Russians can?????

what i mean is does your ethnicity part from your adaptability???

No. Im African American,German,and Cherokee Indian. I can stand the cold for up to 6 hours. Well maybe longer but the longest I’ve been outside in the cold was 6 hours. I can stand the heat for up to 3 hours. It highly bothers me…I just dont like being in the heat. It irritates my skin.

If thats the case what about ppl who are mixed? Say you are african american and mexican…Then what?

Well people with darker skin have more melanin in their skin so are able to stand the sun more without getting burnt
That’s all I know lol.

I think its fact. The first people came from africa then spread to different parts of the world. Their physical appearance changed due to their environment. This took place over time of course. Thats why i believe everyone should love one another dispite their ethnicity because we are all human that happen to be from different parts of the world. No one race is smarter than the other. If a person is educated then a person can do wonders no matter the race

i think it’s not quite fact but not quite fiction either.

i don’t think that ALL people from a particular race have any attribute. thinking that way can lead to prejudice, which can be harmful. however, certain ethnic groups have tendencies, which can be helpful to understand oneself or a friend if they have that tendency. for example, i am part norwegian and i love potato latkes. i am part german and i am highly organized and a record keeper. i am part dutch and i am very frugal. it’s nice to know people who have the same ethnic background and similar traits, but there are also chinese people who like latkes and african people who are excellent record keepers. so none of these traits is exclusive, and there are also exceptions to every tendency.

i think it is for a fact, that if you are born and raised in a cold place, you’ll become more adapt to cold weather, and vice versa. and it is also a fact, that we have a DNA that regulates the pigment in our skin, so people with fairer skin are more prone to skin burn.
